STAUD RESORT
STAUD RESORT 2023
The collection started with an obsessive reaction to the shape of a spiral: a free flowing, swirl that represents connection, life and continuous energy.

We were inspired by the organic movement in this ancient, yet timeless shape, and what it can evoke. It exudes this relaxed energy, a natural elegance that lends itself to where we are headed with this collection: blending a California daydream with urban sophistication.
Resort crosses two seasons; therefore, we treated this collection as a bridge. Starting with our brand DNA of organic materials, sculptural elements, and shapes, we combined them with a free-styling approach, equally polished and adventurous. We dressed up our girl, but with ease. She’s going places and ready for anywhere and anything; from hitting the pavement to the sand.
The Western elements in the collection evoke a feeling of exploration, and an attitude in the styling. These accessories contrasted with clean suiting strengthen the dichotomy of the two. Mini dresses are emblazoned with an abstract and sophisticated beaded motif, paired with a boot rather than a stiletto, again emphasizing this unrestricted energy.

Bags this season enhance each look with a feeling of purpose but are adaptable to time and place. They both hold the things you need and say something about who you are. We continued to explore our core materials, but with a new twisted feeling.
This season’s shoes mirror their wearer’s personality. Through a range of flats, heels, and boots, we take our girl throughout her day, complementing her wardrobe with a spectrum of materials: cowhide, metal, wood and feathers. This footwear collection is a reaction to both the end uses of a resort collection, as well as our girl desiring a wide range of styles from us.
This season always comes back to a spiral, an idea that comes around and doesn’t have a hard edge, always blended. Refined without restriction.
